Market Challenges And Opportunities

Blood pressure monitors are used to measure blood pressure of patients in hospitals, who are critically ill or are going to be operated of any surgical procedure. Blood pressure monitors are present in operating room, intensive care units, surgical recovery rooms, emergency departments and other critical care areas for frequent or continuous measurement of blood pressure. During critical conditions of patient, it is necessary to check blood pressure which plays an important role in diagnosis. Whereas, blood pressure measurement is integral to intensive care units to check vital signs and is also used to screen for hypertension, to estimate cardiovascular risk and manage, diagnose and treat acute and chronic medical conditions. Furthermore, noninvasive blood pressure method is highly adopted, the most popular non-invasive techniques used are sphygmomanometer and auscultation. The non-invasive blood pressure monitor mostly used in intensive critical unit is sphygmomanometer. As non-invasive blood pressure monitor are simpler and quicker than the invasive measurements and also requires less expertise in fitting and have no virtual complications and are also less painful for patient this expected to favor the growth of non-invasive blood pressure monitor market in the near future. However, non-invasive blood pressure monitor are somewhat less accurate and also shows little systematic differences in numerical results, however, are most often used for routine checkup.

Rise in number of cardiovascular diseases expected to fuel the growth of non-invasive blood pressure monitors market

The risk of cardiovascular disease increase above 115/75 mmHg. In the UK, blood pressure is classified into 3 groups; low (90/60 or lower), normal (between 90/60 and 139/89), and high (140/90 or higher). Blood pressure fluctuates from minute to minute and show a circadian rhythm within 24 hours. In the U.S. leading cause of death are heart disease and stroke due to high blood pressure. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in year 2016, about 75 million adults of the U.S. had high blood pressure which is expected to support the growth of non-invasive blood pressure monitors market. Low blood pressure also favors the market of non-invasive blood pressure monitors as it is associated with serious symptoms such as, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, cold, pale skin or blurred vision.
